    Can you name the ones who thought they were women and demanded to use ladies bathrooms?

    I didn't see @JohnHamilton say ANYTHING like that. It sounds to me he is just opposed to double standards but instead you try and us the Trump angle. I don't know, call me crazy, but that seems slightly disingenuous to me. Where does he refer to Trump as this great savior? please, enlighten us

    I have already total you that I am not supporting Trump in the primaries. I wish that he would go away.

    But you are not looking at the conduct of your side. I image you support it, disturbingly on an unconditional basis.

    So.........Tucker is going to attract many of the same people who watched him on Faux. The ones who found his outlandish lies (Patriot Surge), his overt bigotry, his fondness for authoritarians, and his thinly veiled misogyny entertaining. No surprise there.

    I am surprised that Faux didn't have him sign a non-compete clause in his contract.

    You have both turned this into a binary tribal thing, which is need not be. We can recognize and criticize the problems regardless of what "side" people want to group them into.

    This should be interesting. I wonder if this is causing a huge dilemma for Tucker viewers. I read recently read the median age of Foxnews viewers is 65. My guess is a majority of those viewers do not have a Twitter account and probably do not know how to use twitter. Are we going to have a whole bunch of boomers calling their kids and grandchildren asking which channel Twitter is on?

    When you use the FBI and the Justice Department for political purposes, there is no middle ground. If they continue, we will have a police state. When one side will compromise on nothing and never admit that they are wrong about anything, you can’t have much a dialog.

    If you have read my posts, you will know that I am pro-choice and unhappy with Trump. I am a Republican, but I am not a party hack or robot. If the party is headed in the wrong direction, I will say so.

    They get to hear from him on Twitter so for now until he finds a new home, they'll be fine.

    Btw, without Tucker, Fox News ratings have plummeted. I doubt they'll recover anytime soon.

    I've read that Tucker's target audience is 45-55.

    Those Republicans who are trying to take it back to the party of DC establishment days are going in the wrong direction. One look at who the people support as their candidate for the presidency tells us this.

    Well that is true but totally misleading. Maybe you should re-consider your news sources. While BlackRock does own shares in Dominion Energy it does not have any ownership in Dominion Voting systems. So your news source is either lying to you or is very sloppy.

    45-55 is pretty good for a Twitter audience. There is a decent chance people in that group may use Twitter or at minimum know how to install the app.

    It was the age group that mainly followed him on Fox. I would imagine most tuned out of Fox last night. With Kilmeade hosting, half of Tucker's following was gone. From 3.4 million a night down to 1.7

    Also, "Fox Corporation, which owns Fox News, saw its stock plunge more than 5%, losing $1 billion in market capitalization just minutes after news broke that Carlson departed."

    Lol, Trump LOVES censorship. Hell, he even wanted it to be illegal to call his building plans ugly. But a Fox anchor being fired is a private business decision, not government censorship.

    Then feel free to address the rest and also stop attributing to this to parties when you are unwilling to talk about the leader of the other major party. You won't do either.

    I suspect that sans Tucker, they'll get bought up by a Blackrock or Vanguard (I think one of those is already a major shareholder) and they'll become even more another MSNBCNN clone. I mean, they pretty much already are imo, with a light conservative flavoring, but all the pretext will be gone.

    You attempted to make this about party politics, but you are now unwilling to discuss one of the two parties at all. Seriously, I cannot help you IF you don't at least try to comprehend what is written to you.

    Eh, I guess. Dinosaur media is past its prime. It'll be better if we can get past this notion of 'authorities' on information. It never turns out well.
